Many of the rumors surrounding the next-generation Xbox are, at least seemingly, coming true. Microsoft and the newly appointed head of Xbox have already confirmed Project Helix is well into development and that it will indeed be able to play both Xbox and PC games. What that means exactly is still unclear, but we do have new details directly from Xbox on everything from a hint at the release window, the machine’s dual-functionality, and even some actual specs here today. 

A new LEGO PlayStation set is reportedly coming this year. We have seen some exciting new official LEGO announcements this week, including the large-scale Luigi Mario Kart build, a teaser for new minifigure-scale Nintendo sets, and just this morning with the launch of the One Piece Gum-Gum Fruit pre-orders, but it looks like LEGO might also have a new brick built PlayStation 1 replica on the way too. 

What if Apple made MacBooks back in 1984? That’s the question Dbrand decided to ask itself and the answer is the all-new 1984 MacBook skins. The new new MacBook Neo, M5 MacBook Pro, and the upgraded M5 MacBook Air launch today and will begin landing on doorsteps very shortly, and now Dbrand has now launched its all-new vintage-inspired 1984 skins to bring some Apple nostalgia to your modern machines. 

Today is your last chance to get in on the Galaxy S26, S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order deals, as well as the massive deals on Galaxy Buds 4/Pro. Deliveries officially start tomorrow and there’s no telling what might happen to the up to $900 in trade-on value, the exclusive store credit you’ll receive through our links, and you can even score FREE Galaxy Buds 4 with your order ($180+ value). 

Happy Mario Day, LEGO Super Mario minifigs have been officially announced! Just when you thought the Mario reveals were done for the day, Nintendo and LEGO have just released a new teaser video on social announcing all-new Super Mario minifigs and sets. 

Mario Day 2026 is fast approaching with new reveals, deals, and game announcements already warping in. Nintendo has just announced a collection of new Mario titles landing in the Nintendo Classics library, retailers are already primed with upcoming events, and we already have a hint at this year’s Mario Day Switch 2 console bundle. But there’s plenty more to come as we set to celebrate the Mushroom Kingdom and beyond on Mario Day 2026. 

Mario Day is still in full swing, but at this point in the afternoon just about all of the excitement we are going to be getting is out in the wild now. From a plethora of Switch and Switch 2 game deals and price drops on express microSD cards for your Switch 2, to the all-new LEGO Mario Kart reveal and the release date announcement for the new Yoshi game, all of the most noteworthy and exciting Mario Day 2026 festivities await below.

Satechi is back at it again today with the launch of its brand new Foldable Stand Hub. The latest addition to its OntheGo collection, the new stand and hub combo is designed to provide a mobile home for your iPad just about anywhere while expanding its power and connectivity prowess at the same time. Now available for purchase at $79.99, you can catch some additional details down below. 

It has been a minute since we checked in with the accessory makers over at Journey, but the brand has now unleashed its all new Qi2 25W SUMMIT ULTRA 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station. Now available for purchase, you can also land a solid 20% launch discount simply by adding it to the cart. 

While it might not exactly be a new Mario game, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book was reaveled as part of the initial Mario 40th anniversary and we are getting a new gameplay overview trailer today alongside the official release date. 

Happy Mario Day folks! The Switch game deals are flying, LEGO just unveiled the all-new Luigi & Mach 8 set, and everything else is waiting for you right here. Nintendo also officially released some new Nintendo Classics Mario games this morning and has now unveiled the new overview trailer for Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park. 

Mario Day has officially arrived and, as part of this year’s festivities, Nintendo has now officially released three new classics for Switch Online. Previously announced to kick off the 2026 Mar10 Day, the new Nintendo Classics are now playable. 

Happy Mario Day 2026! MAR10 Day has officially arrived and with it we have giant selection of Nintendo Switch game deals, an all-new trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, the release of some classic Mario games, LEGO deals, and there’s even more to come.

Let’s-a-go!

Apple has officially unleashed its next-generation M5 MacBook Air as well as the M5 Pro MacBook Pro, but it has also introduced the world to its new and far more affordable MacBook Neo. All three of the new models are now up for pre-order before shipments begin arriving on doorsteps mid next week, so we have now put together the best pre-order deals for folks to land a discount on their new 2026 MacBook.

Mario Day 2026 is already in full swing with up to 50% off physical Switch games and the annual eShop sale now live, not to mention these LEGO sets and a return all-time low on Samsung’s officially-licensed 256GB Switch 2 Express microSD, but it is now time for the Mario Day Direct. This year, with the theatrical release quickly approaching, Nintendo is set to host a dedicated Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct showcase and it goes live very soon. 

Last week Nintendo announced a surprise Nintendo Direct for Mario Day. It is perhaps not the main Direct you were hoping for with a new Mario game for Switch 2 or something, but instead a dedicated Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct showcase that is set to deliver our final good look at the new film ahead of release. 

Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews. This weekly roundup collects all of the coolest new gadgets, the most interesting updates in the world of tech, and more, and this week it’s all about Mario Day 2026, confirmation of the next-gen Xbox console, and the new MacBook Neo.

Nintendo has now officially announced its Mario Day 2026 plans and the official eShop sale is already live. You’ll find loads of digital Mario and first-party Nintendo games, and then some, up for grabs right now. But the physical game deals are scheduled to hit on March 8 – that’s this upcoming Sunday – and today’s Target weekly ad preview has them on display. 

Nobody likes tariffs (almost nobody anyway), and neither does Nintendo. According to reports flooding the interwebs today, Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government to get back some of those golden coins it lost when tariffs initially went in place ahead of the Switch 2 launch. 

The Mario 2026 festivities are in full swing already, with game sales already live on the eShop, Amazon, and at Best Buy. And with this year’s celebration landing in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. game and the upcoming release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Nintendo has announced the next Nintendo Direct dedicated to Mario’s upcoming big screen adventure. 

Alongside offering the best deals on pre-orders for the new MacBook Neo, M5 MacBook Air, and M5 Pro MacBook Pro, Best Buy is also getting particularly aggressive with the brand new M4-equipped iPad Air lineup Apple just unveiled. While pre-orders listings for the new iPad are live at Amazon, Best Buy has now slashed the price on the new M4 model with deals starting down at $559 shipped for everyone (you do not need to be a Plus or Total member). 

There is now (less than) one week left to take advantage of the major Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra pre-order deals at this point. The new Galaxy handsets will officially release on March 11 and the clock is now ticking to get in on the pre-order offers – up to $900 or more off the price of the phones with trade-ins, $150 in store credit to score FREE Galaxy Buds 4 and much more, as well as our exclusive bonus $30 credit available through our links. 

It is time to take a look at the best M5 Pro MacBook Pro pre-order deals. Apple’s latest and greatest new pro-grade MacBook models are going up for pre-order today and we are now tracking a chance to land a FREE $100 gift card with purchases alongside some notable trade-in values that can effectively slash up to $800 off the cost of your new machine. These pre-order deals are now live at Best Buy and we are expecting Amazon to offer up some notable offers any minute now. Details below. 

It’s not just you, Amazon appears to be down. At this point it seems like just the store is actually down, but it’s hard to say for sure. We started to see some oddities on listings over the last few hours and now it looks like most of its Gold Box page and many of the actual listings pages are either not loading properly or Amazon is in the middle of some kind of visual overhaul. 

What is the next-gen Xbox going to be called? Will there even be a next-gen Xbox? Well, it looks like newly appointed Microsoft Gaming CEO Asha Sharma has now not only confirmed there will indeed be a next-generation Xbox console (I think we all assumed there would be), but also some additional details as well. 

We got an early look at the official Nintendo MAR10 Day Switch game deals already this morning, but Nintendo has now issued an official press release detailing its complete Mario Day 2026 plans. This year is in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. game and the upcoming release of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie on April 1, but there’s a whole lot more than that. Check it all out below. 

After much speculation and some early announcements, it appears the official MAR10 Day deals have now landed online. While the announcement is yet to hit the Nintendo news page at this point, key art of the deals has now surfaced online we have the goods for you below. 

We recently got hints at what’s to come for Mario Day 2026 here in the U.S. from an official Nintendo Australia post about the upcoming Switch 2 console bundle, and Best Buy Canada might have just given us a closer look at the upcoming deals. 

Update: Best Buy is now offering FREE $25 gift cards with pre-orders of the new MacBook Neo.

Alongside the pre-order deals we are tracking on the new M5 MacBook Air and the M5 Pro MacBook Pro, Apple has now unleashed one of its most affordable new portable machines in years with the new MacBook Neo. Coming in at a starting price at $599, this is one of the most accessible MacBook releases to date and pre-orders are now going live at Best Buy with a bonus $25 gift card thrown in, and if you have some store credits or gift cards, there are deals to be had. 

The new M5 MacBook Air pre-orders are now live and there are actually some deals to be had even if you aren’t trading-in. Pre-orders are live on Amazon and we are very much hoping it will match the FREE gift cards offers you can score at Best Buy – it is offering a FREE $50 gift card on M5 MacBook Air pre-orders. 

LG has announced the official pricing for its 2026 OLED TVs, including the new LG OLED evo G6 and C6. Both models are now available to order directly from the official LG site. 

Alongside the now live pre-order deals on the new M5 MacBook Air and M5 Pro MacBook Pro with up to $100 in FREE gift cards, we are also starting to see listings live at retail on the new M4 iPad Air. While there are no direct gift card offers, Best Buy Plus and Total members can score one at $50 off, and you will want to double check the trade-in values you will get at retailers like Best Buy – you can score one as low as $249. 

Mario Day 2026 is right around the corner and while we are expecting an details from Nintendo at any moment, the official international announcement of this year’s Mario Day Switch 2 bundle might give us a good idea of what to expect. 

The Mario Day celebrations are already kicking off. We got some early details on some of GameStop’s plans yesterday and now Nintendo has announced three new Mario Nintendo Classics releases set to go live on MAR10. 

Mario Day 2026 is quickly approaching and while we are still awaiting official plans from Nintendo on this year’s celebration, we do have an idea of what to expect and we now have some details on what GameStop is cooking up. And what GameStop is cooking up is a giant Mario costume party, a chance to score a FREE Nintendo Switch 2, and FREE $5 store credits for everyone. 

Samsung Galaxy S26 pre-orders are now live. The new lineup is now being officially revealed at today’s Unpacked event and the Galaxy S26 pre-order deals are now ready to go. Pre-orders for the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra are available on the official Samsung site at up to $900 off with trade-ins alongside bonus $30 credits through our links, FREE Galaxy Buds 4, and you can also take advantage of a FREE $150 credit to use towards Galaxy Buds, wearables, and other eligible accessories.

Highlights include The Godfather Trilogy, Martin Scorsese 3-Movie Collection, Roofman + Catch Me If You Can Double Feature, Spongebob Squarepants 4-Movie Collection, Modern Family, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts + Bumblebee, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Double Feature, and much more. The new Apple 2026 Spring Collection accessories are now live, we have AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation back to one the best prices, and all Apple Watch Series 11 cell models at $100 off, but for now it’s all about the movies and shows – check them out below.

The the 2026 Pokémon Day festivities and Pokémon Presents  (mostly) behind us now, it’s time for today’s Direct. More specifically, and as we reported tomorrow, Nintendo is set to host a new IndieWorld showcase this morning and it goes live very soon. 

Just ahead of tomorrow’s pre-orders for M4 iPad Air and iPhone 17e, as well as today’s potential new Apple release, its new spring accessory collection is now live for purchase. Consisting of a series of new spring-ready colors, from Bright Guava to Clementine and a Blue Mist, every year around this time Apple tends to refresh its iPhone case and Apple Watch band lineup with some new paint jobs and the latest Clementine, Bright Guava and Blue Mist models have now arrived. 

Fresh on the heels of last week’s Pokémon Presents, the release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen for Switch and Switch 2, and the official reveal of the new mainline Gen 10 Pokémon Winds and Waves, Nintendo has now officially announced the next IndieWorld showcase. 

We already detailed a number of particular wild savings opportunities on the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. From the exclusive $40 credit you’ll receive through our links, how to score Galaxy Buds 4 Pro for FREE or the Galaxy S26 Ultra as low as $400 with trades, through to a chance to land a Galaxy Tab with your order for $45 or less, the deals are wild right now and the pre-order window will be closing in just under a week now. Many of the deepest deals we have featured have been focused on the more pricey Galaxy S26+ and Ultra models as they include larger $150 bonus credits and larger trade-in values, but the deals are arguably just as good on the most affordable model in the lineup considering how much less you are spending on it (or how much less you need to trade-in against it). 

The new Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup debuted earlier this week and the pre-order deals are flying. There are offers live on the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra right now, and a lot of them, so this morning we are going to break them all down to ensure you score the best possible price/value on the setup you’re after. You will now score an exclusive $30 credit with pre-orders when clicking through our links, as well as a bonus $50 off discount code, on top of the deals you can already score. All of the details await below.
